Weekend

Williamsburg, 2013

Warming up inside after a few hours watching the New York marathon along Bedford Avenue. I love the marathon nearly as much as I love the winter Olympics (which is a lot.) Seeing the marathon is one of my first memories of Williamsburg...ten years ago on this weekend exactly, I came out to brunch here, saw the runners, and fell in love with the neighborhood. I moved here a few weeks later, and the rest is history!

This time, thanks to Axel, we were up early enough to see the elite women and men as they forged their path down the course. We tried to spot a few friends who are running the race, but ultimately had to get hot cider and retreat back inside to our heating.

Other than that, we've been busy with my mom visiting and I think baby boy #2 must be going through some kind of growth spurt, as I've been exhausted to the point of a major sense of humor fail this week. Axel has been sleeping through the night again, thank goodness, but I'm just feeling rather run down at week 23. More on that tomorrow!

About Me

For the past 14 years, I've lived in New York and worked for various magazines and newspapers as a freelance editor and writer. I live in Williamsburg, where I enjoy skulking around cafes, walking down to the waterfront, and marveling at the Portlandia-ness of it all. In August of 2012 we added our son Axel to the clan. In March of 2014, Oscar was born, and in December, 2015, Balthazar joined the family. We are still doing our best to travel the globe and make adventures out of the every day in Brooklyn.
